Eating After Workouts

After working out or doing any form of exercise, it is always best to eat right after working out, within the half hour to an hour after the exercise.

Your metabolism and your body is pumped after workouts and eating to fill the stomach not only helps your eating habits but your body is already in gear to burn the calories down within the time frame after workouts.

If you drink a cup of water before you eat any meal it will make you feel fuller faster therefore you will eat a little less! Also if you carry a gallon of water in your car you will see it and remember you have to drink water. =P

Before and After Pictures Work!

One of the biggest things that has helped me become so successful in accomplishing my body type is to have a lot of little goals along the way to my ultimate goal.

Having a lot of miniature goals really helps motivate a lot of people because it shows progression and seeing progression is really important in sustaining your new way of life.

Try it out, taking pictures during each "checkpoint" will really help illustrate the journey you have made AND when you get to your ultimate goal compare your "now" picture to your picture before you started and you will definitely be surprised!

P.S. take your picture with ONLY underwear on in the bathroom in front of the mirror. This will help in seeing every new muscle you have built.

Eating right can help you!!!

Well when I was 14 I was enormous at 180 pounds. I used to be a big boy. Well I was sick and tired of being made fun of because of my weight, So I started eating right.

I started incorporating vegetables in my diet and eating more fish. Like Salmon and tuna. I replaced soda with water.

Within a 6 month period I dropped about 40 pounds!

With eating I started to walk to school more and during P.E. I pushed my self during runs, which greatly help my quest to lose weight. With me losing weight, it increased my confidence to tackle anything in the world.
